Unbox Robotics

Sort more parcels and destinations in less floor space, with flexible capacity, rapid deployment, and accurate workflows across fulfillment and logistics operations.

UnboxSort

UnboxSort is a modular, vertical robotic parcel sortation system for fulfillment centers, sort hubs, distribution centers, and delivery networks. Autonomous robots and intelligent software sort parcels into destinations such as orders, routes, stores, or carriers, supporting order consolidation, outbound sortation, and returns processing. Its compact, multi-level design uses vertical space to increase sort capacity while reducing floor-space requirements. The system supports dynamic routing, integrates with existing warehouse systems, and can scale by adding or removing robots as operational needs change.

• Use Vertical Space To Expand Sort Capacity
  Sort across multiple levels to support dense parcel handling within a smaller floor footprint than conventional conveyor-based systems.
• Coordinate Robots And Reroute Around Blockages
  Coordinate the fleet dynamically so robots can respond to changing conditions and localized blockages without relying on fixed conveyor paths.
• Route Parcels To Changing Destinations
  Adapt sortation to changing carrier plans, dispatch requirements, routes, orders, stores, and return dispositions.
• Sort To More Than 2,000 Destinations
  Handle a high number of destination groups in a compact layout, supporting workflows that sort to orders, routes, stores, or carriers.
• Scale Robot Capacity With Demand
  Adjust fleet size and destination capacity as volumes change, including seasonal peaks, without requiring a fixed capacity or layout redesign.
• Connect Sortation To Existing Warehouse Systems
  Exchange order, destination, and status data with existing systems through an API, without replacing the WMS or adding a separate control system.
• Track Parcels Through Sortation
  Track parcels through the sortation flow and validate route decisions in real time to support accurate destination handling.
• Maintain Sortation Through Localized Issues
  Keep the system operating through localized issues using decentralized coordination rather than relying on a single point of failure.
• Reassign Destinations As Order Profiles Shift
  Adjust destination allocation to changing order flows, supporting bin utilization and throughput without relying solely on fixed destination assignments.
• Deploy In Weeks While Operations Continue
  Introduce sortation capacity over a shorter deployment period than traditional systems, with deployments described as taking four to eight weeks while floor operations continue.
• Sort Returns By Disposition Or Category
  Direct returned parcels toward the appropriate downstream action, seller, or category, supporting reverse logistics on the primary system.
• Support Multiple Fulfillment And Logistics Workflows
  Use the system for order consolidation, outbound dispatch, store pickup, mid-mile sorting, store replenishment, and last-mile route sortation.
• Scan And Assign Parcels In Real Time
  Capture parcel information and assign parcels to robots as they enter the sortation workflow, reducing manual handling at induction.
• Handle Varied Parcel Types
  Sort common parcel formats and varied packaging types, including cartons, boxes, polybags, and irregular parcels.
• Separate Human And Robot Work Zones
  Use controlled robot zones and safety fencing to support safe operation alongside warehouse personnel.
• Capture Parcel Weight And Dimensions
  Automatically collect parcel weight and dimension data for use by backend systems.
• Manage Robot Charging Automatically
  Coordinate robot charging to help maintain battery availability across the fleet.
• Monitor System Status And Service Components
  Use system monitoring and modular components to support maintenance and servicing over long-term operation.
